I’m not doubting or disputing the validity of the quotes from the article (there are examples of statements or “quotes” from Ford to the media almost every single day).  I will, however, doubt and dispute Ford’s ability to deliver on what they have stated on this subject.  

https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a65637114/ford-delays-next-gen-electric-truck-van/ So reading in between the lines on this-they will be starting production in roughly 24 months but full production won't hill till 2028 CY.    But of course this is all subject to change....and try to think long term here-they might get a reprieve till 2029, but that could all change again then with a new administration.  

Ford F-150 Lightning Truck | Articles | Ford Motor Company https://share.google/4TlNAnCJYgPxVUVMm   I don't think we need to revise history.  There is far too much revisionist history right now, board said starting at 40K. Full stop. I wish we would stop filling in the blanks with opinions instead of facts. No one here knows the profitability of any Ford product, why do we try the hard to figure out profitability, instead of why the company isn't producing fresh and innovative product.

T3 production starting in 2027 is possible but highly unlikely considering Ford’s other near term investments/projects (not to mention EPA regulations being reconsidered and CAFE fines being eliminated).  We shall see what the market and regulations dictate.

Well the T3 will start production in 2027 sometime...so its almost 2026, so seeing it cancelled by the end of next year wouldn't be too big of a surprise, esp if demand is low. 

I do blame them for how they did it though.  Failed partnerships, failed 3 row SUVs, not doing more hybrids and killing Edge and Escape and having to import nautilus and Corsair from China.

Believe it or not the trip was only a couple weeks from German port to Atlanta.   Europe passed some electronics law last year and the 718 platform was not compliant and apparently could not be upgraded so they stopped selling them in Europe last year but kept them in production for ROW until last month.  They decided to replace them with EVs which are due out next year.  But after the dip in EV sales they’re now saying they might do some naturally aspirated special versions which means GTS and GT4s and $150k price tags (at least).

Sorry I had it on silent.      Hello?   Guys?

It is still standard according to the order guide.  Of course the order guide could be wrong.
